Friday'dente is a combination of Friday (typically the last day of the work week for many) and detente, (pronounced DAY tont), defined as a 'relaxation of strained relations or tensions (as between nations)'. Friday'dente is evident when co-workers, clients, and colleagues all realize it's Friday, and wanting to ease into the weekend, enter a 'detente' type of work mode: I won't mess your day up, if you won't mess mine up....easy on the emails, zooms, and calls...
Had a pretty relaxing Friday, as most folks I deal with had a full on Friday'tente type of work attitude...
